Results of Questionnaire on ‘Summary of Comments’
by IAEG Members, Including Indicator Groupings
Read Me First
(Updated on 22 October 2015)
1. This document contains the summary of inputs provided by Members of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on
Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) on the basis of the following three questions on the
indicator proposals as contained in the ‘List of Proposals’ from 11 August 2015 and the comments received during
the Open Consultation of Members and Observers contained in the document "Summary of Comments":
i) Do you support any of the suggested modifications or replacements for this indicator (Yes/No)? – If you respond
“YES”, please indicate the country/countries and entities that made the proposal you are in agreement with.
ii) Do you support any of the additional indicator proposals (Yes/No)? – If you respond “YES”, please indicate the
country/countries and entities that made the proposal you are in agreement with and whether you support it as a
complimentary/ additional indicator or as the priority indicator.
iii) Do you have any strong concerns with the suggestions for this indicator (Yes/No)? In case you indicate “Yes”
the proposals for this indicator will be discussed on a priority basis during the Bangkok meeting
2. Based on the replies by the members to each of the three questions, the indicators where grouped as follows :
• GREEN: indicators on which there is general agreement (or small modifications proposed);
• YELLOW: indicators where there are some unresolved issues or different alternatives proposed, which could be
resolved during the meeting;
• GREY: indicators where it appears that more in-depth discussion is necessary or other processes and frameworks
need to conclude before an indicator is finalised.
3. The discussion 2nd Meeting of the IAEG-SDGs in Bangkok from 26-28 October will attempt to resolve issues
related to indicators in the yellow group. We have also highlighted in the last column, the main issues that will need
to be addressed and resolved, with the aim of resolving as many issues as possible and moving the indicators
marked as ‘yellow’ to the green category. Green indicators are proposed to be ready for adoption by the group and
no discussion on them is planned, unless there is a request by IAEG members.
4. On the grey indicators, we will need to agree on a work plan to be undertaken with all IAEG members in order to
allow for further discussion and clarification. There are also a few indicators marked as grey, simply to allow other
processes and frameworks to be fully completed (such as the case for the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction).
5. Finally, the individual responses submitted by the IAEG members are available on the IAEG-SDGs website at:
http://unstats.un.org/sdgs/meetings/iaeg-sdgs-meeting-02. We have received replies from 25 countries out of the 28
members. However, this summary does not include 2 of the 25 replies, received after the compilation had been
finalized. We also would like to remind you to use the ‘Summary of Comments’ document as a reference when
reviewing these responses as in many cases the IAEG members refer directly to comments made by countries or
agencies that are included in it.
